Hill’s death is a reminder that the blues foundation of rock music is rapidly fading. He comes from a generation that rejects race-based hygiene in popular music, but embraces the simple electric blues of pioneers, such as John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters, with the band in “Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago.”
Although ZZ Top is not a Bruce purist, Bruce is always at the core of everything they do, mixing things like Texas-Mexico, The original 1950s village and full tilt Phuket. ZZ Top has an image to be sure, but the image does not define the band. On the contrary, music defines the image. ZZ Top produces a sultry and sexy style, streamlined to inject the basic elements of blues rock. For office workers who relax after a week’s work, the past, present and future will all be music.
